Segment 2: Developed by a team of engineers at the University of Calgary, this mask features a transparent front panel that allows the wearer's lips and facial expressions to be easily visible.
Segment 3: The Skelly Mask also has a built-in microphone and speaker that amplify the wearer's voice, making it easier for the hearing-impaired individuals to understand.
Segment 4: Additionally, the mask includes a small screen that displays real-time captions of the wearer's speech, further enhancing communication.
Segment 5: The Skelly Mask is especially beneficial in situations where wearing a traditional face mask can hinder lip-reading and communication, such as healthcare settings or social interactions.
Segment 6: The team behind the Skelly Mask is hopeful that this innovative technology will greatly improve the everyday lives of hearing-impaired individuals and promote better communication and inclusivity.
